I'll keep this brief because it's urgent: Our justice system is under threat, and it's up to us to defend it.

Donald Trump just nominated Matt Gaetz to be the next attorney general.

Gaetz has repeatedly shown a blatant disregard for ethics, the rule of law, and basic accountability – making him a grave danger to our democracy and the future of justice in America.

That's why Brady PAC has launched an urgent petition DEMANDING that Congress reject Matt Gaetz’s confirmation. But we need 2,850 more supporters to hit our petition signature goal and stand up for our democracy, friend – please add your name before midnight:

Thank you for using your voice in this critical moment,

Subject: Urgent: Say NO to Matt Gaetz as Attorney General

Donald Trump just nominated former Congressman Matt Gaetz to be the next attorney general of the United States — and it's critical to stop him if we're going to protect our justice system.

An Attorney General Gaetz would be an unprecedented disaster for the Department of Justice and the very foundations of our legal system. The damage would be irreversible.

Just yesterday, Gaetz resigned from his House seat to avoid the release of a report by the House Ethics Committee, which was set to examine credible allegations of sex trafficking and corruption involving minors.

This is just the latest in a series of disturbing actions that demonstrate his lack of ethics and fitness for any public office, let alone the highest law enforcement position in the country.

Gaetz has built his career on extremism, divisiveness, and blind loyalty to Trump, who has made it clear that he wants to use the Justice Department as a weapon to punish those he sees as political "enemies," undermining the very rule of law that is the cornerstone of our democracy.

This is the kind of dangerous politicization of our government that we feared would come with a second Trump presidency — and now it's happening before our eyes. We cannot afford to wait and see what happens.

We, the people, must act NOW to prevent an ethically compromised extremist from becoming our nation's top law enforcement officer. Add your name to this urgent petition, demanding that Congress reject Matt Gaetz’s confirmation before it’s too late.

Thank you for standing up for justice.
